Eva Longoria and José 'Pepe' Baston are expecting their first child together.

The 42-year-old actress is four months pregnant with the 49-year-old media mogul's child a rep confirmed to Us Weekly on Tuesday.

That wasn't all the happy news as the insider told the publication that the happy couple are expecting a bouncing baby boy.

Happy news: Eva Longoria and Jose 'Pepe' Baston are expecting their first child together according to an Us Weekly report on Tuesday

Baston already shares three kids – 22-year-old daughter Natalia and 14-year-old twins Mariana and Jose – with ex-wife Natalia Esperón.

Unfortunately their son Sebastian tragically died days after birth in 2003.

Eva may have been hinting at her happy news just weeks ago at the L'Oreal Paris 12th Annual Women Of Worth Event on December 6.

Clue? Eva may have been hinting at her happy news just weeks ago at the L'Oreal Paris 12th Annual Women Of Worth Event on December 6 as an insider for Us Weekly said she 'kept touching her stomach'

An insider told Us Weekly at the time that the former star of Desperate Housewives 'kept touching her stomach' while posing for photos.

Eva last showed off her fantastic bikini body during a loved up trip to Ibiza, Spain in late July.

The lovebirds could barely keep their lips off one another as they smooched on the beach.

Two years ago in the summer of 2015, Eva questioned if it was too late for her to have children after announcing her engagement.

'I just turned 40, so I have thought, "Is time running out?" Longoria told People at the time. 'I should be thinking about [children], but I feel like my life is full.'

Passion: The lovebirds could barely keep their lips off one another as they smooched on the beach

The two began dating in 2013 and were engaged two years later in Dubai.

Eva and José tied the knot in Mexico back in May 2016, despite the star previously claiming to People magazine that she didn't think she would marry again.

'I'm not a fan of marriage; but I like being married to him,' she said. 'I never thought I would get married again. It's him, he makes it all worth it.'

No doubt the president of Televisa changed all of that for Eva as she gushed about him and even called him 'soulmate' in an interview with Ocean Drive in October 2016.

'Pepe and I are soulmates — I don't even know how to explain it, because it's like we're two different sides of the same coin,' she explained. 'He's compassionate, kind, handsome — he's everything I wanted and didn't even know I wanted.'

Eva has tied the knot before Baston as the star first married Tyler Christopher in 2002, before splitting two years later and wed ex-husband basketball player Tony Parker in 2007.

She said in the same interview that she believes in their relationships and doesn't regret her past marriages.

'I think every relationship is a path to where you are today,' Eva said. 'Every wrong turn led you to the spot where you are, so it wasn't necessarily the wrong turn at the time. I wouldn't change anything — never.'

Strickland Metals shares jump 39% ahead of drilling base metal target near DeGrussa

Strickland Metals Ltd (ASX:STK) shares surged 39% today ahead of its maiden drilling program at the Doolgunna Project, which will include a diamond drilling program that is likely to begin by the end of this month.

As a part of the program, a minimum of four diamond holes will be drilled to a depth of 500 metres to test a VMS target similar to the nearby DeGrussa deposit of Sandfire Resources (ASX:SFR).

Heritage survey[hhmc]
Exploration activity has recommenced on the Doolgunna Project following completion of heritage surveys to allow land access to areas where the company wishes to complete exploration drilling.

The target for drilling is a compelling base metal prospect that exhibits geological characteristics that are interpreted to be similar to Sandfire Resources’ DeGrussa deposit about 30 kilometres to the east of the project.

The prospect has a 3-kilometre-long electromagnetic conductor that lies below an outcropping copper-zinc gossan that has been mapped over a 1.2-kilomet..

Pan Asia Metals Ltd (ASX:PAM) has had positive discussions with authorities in Phang Nga Province, Thailand, including the provincial government, for its Reung Kiet Lithium Project.

PAM has submitted a presentation covering all aspects of the project including methods of ongoing exploration, conceptual mining and concentrate production, and the potential for downstream value-adding industries in Phang Nga and Thailand.

The presentation and subsequent discussions were aimed at assisting Phang Nga Provincial Government in their considerations for the proposed mining and industrial development areas.

Provincial Government discussions

Pan Asia was recently invited by the chief executive officer of the Phang Nga Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO), a Phang Nga Provincial Government coordinating body, to represent PAM and the Reung Kiet Lithium Project.

The meeting was also attended by the head of Phang Nga Provincial Industry along with the representatives of the Phang Nga Provincial Public Works and Town Planning Office.

Phang Nga Provincial Industry head has been appointed by the Phang Nga governor as chairman of the Phang Nga New Town Planning Committee.

During the meeting, the chairman of the committee conveyed its support for the Reung Kiet Lithium Project.

PAO wants to ensure that the requirements of the Reung Kiet project are incorporated into the town planning committee’s zoning plans to ensure that the project can progress once exploration and feasibility results prove positive.

“Can bring opportunities”

PAM managing director Paul Lock said: “We have been working hard in Phang Nga province and we are very happy with the positive reception that the Reung Kiet Lithium Project is receiving from the Phang Nga Provincial Government and surrounding communities.

“Reung Kiet is strategically located and based on peer feasibility work the project is positioned to potentially be one of the lowest-cost suppliers of lithium chemicals in the global peer group.

“This is a project that can bring substantial opportunities and value to Phang Nga and Thailand.”

Pan Asia is planning its second Reung Kiet drilling program with expectations that this will begin in the coming months following the conclusion of the current Khao Soon drilling program.

Potential cost curve leader

Reung Kiet is a hard rock project with lepidolite rich pegmatites chiefly composed of quartz, albite and lepidolite with minor cassiterite and tantalite as well as other accessory minerals including some rare earth.

Lepidolite does not require roasting and has a suite of by-products which are recoverable at the concentrator and processing stages of the flow sheet.
